Avery important and highly interesting
book at the present juncture, when rUmOurS

"DiplOmatistr aud entitled "The Great
Military Powers before France and Ger
many, 1883, 1880, 19OO,' which has just
been published by "La Librairie Illus
tree" The motto on the cover in " Europe
wishes for peace and will have it," but, to
judge from the tenor of the dipl0matistS
pages, the bl0ated ornaments aud military
e~ventualities which are discussed and
commented upon therein look remarkably
as ii Europe were bent on war at no distant
date. France, contends the "DiplOmatist,"
although her sword was suddenly broken
an a moment of surprise, still lives. AMI
will live, because Europe needs her arm
tor the defence of Western freedom. The
Emperor of Germany, full OF glory and OF
wears, wants to die in peace and not at war
with another nation. The German news.

finally, for the purpose of warning off his
cOuntrymen from the dangerous ordeal Of
Ahe~SwOrql AMI cannon, he ventures to tell
them ip plain terms, which will not be

IT appears that there arc those who see
in the projected public park the strong
odor Of political Echeme. This, It fur
ther appears, grows out Of 80 much OF the
suggestion as relates to the memorial
idea. The INTRLLIoENcRn does not see
how any party could hope to gain votes
by the mere fact Of the existence Of park
fres 10 all the people. =
Certainly there are Democrats and Re-
publcanB who see no politics in the
scheme, for it has the hearty sympathy
and assistance Of some Of the strongest
Democrats in the city and the active op-
position OF some Of the loudest Republi-
cans. On this point honora seem to be
about as easy as they could we'll be.
But the city is not committed to the
memorial idea, and the committee OF citi.
zsns having in charge the ordinance Is
considering the matter aolaly in the Light
Of project to provide q pleasure ground
for the people. This Is the ground plan
Of the whole scheme, and II the memorial
feature gives oasnss it is not 80 great .
matter that it cannot be laid anide..
Those who thought q public memorial
park would be good thing are willing
that the people Of Wheeling shall have .
public park with no memorial In 1t, con.
vlnced that this also would be q good
thing. There should be no difficulty for
those to meet on common ground who at
all wish to have city park. 3
